Do you know anyone that has achieved something great all by themselves? Life is a team sport. We all rely on each other to do things everyday. Whether it’s something small like borrowing a pencil or something big like borrowing a lot of money from a friend to buy something. It is a combination of trust and reliability that helps us through life. You trust that your friend is going to pay you back. Your friend is very reliable so they do. A sports team is made up of many individuals. Each person has different strengths and weaknesses. Even though they are all different, they work together when playing to achieve a common goal. They rely on and trust each other to try their hardest every time they arrive at a practice or a game. Knowing many people are relying on you to make that pass or score that goal, it pushes you to do your best because you don’t want to let them down. Doesn’t matter what sport. The importance of a team is that they become your second family. Sometimes someone is having a bad day and that’s okay. Their team will understand that and help build them up. If you make a mistake in a game there’s many other players that will help fix it. Everyone on the team contributes in different ways to achieve a team success. The Toronto Raptors won the NBA finals 2019 because of many people. Everyone that played, the players on the bench for support, the coaches, and many more people. One person can’t win a team sport by themselves. Before every game my team sings and dances in the change room. It gets everyone pumped up and ready to play. During a game it’s the best feeling scoring a goal. Especially when it's a close score and you start sprinting to your team to give eachother a big hug while you jump up and down with huge smiles across your faces. As fun as winning is, you can’t always win. You win as a team and you lose as a team. It is not one player's fault that the team loses. Being part of any team is very beneficial and helps develop many skills. Depending on the kind of team some skills you could attain are communication, perseverance, leadership, determination, health, strength, cooperation, organization, focus, and problem-solving. You can read more on the benefits to playing a team sport like academic performance and mental health on https://armyandnavyacademy.org/blog/beyond-physical-fitness-the-benefits-of-playing-team-sports/ . A team doesn’t just play a sport together, it supports every player through their life. Think about all your family, friends, teammates, teachers, and other people that have impacted your life. Now try to imagine where you would be in life without their support. You may be fine without them, but you wouldn’t have their help that you need to reach your full potential.
